I remember that article too.
I was in high school at the time and we tried it in our electronics
class. Our flame was barely adequate, four to six inch high (I think a
minimum of six inches was recommended). The sound was pretty distorted
but we didn't concern ourselves with impendance and flame size was too
small. We just used a common propane torch.
As I recall, the article mentioned (or suggested) connecting
ones HiFi to a central heating furnace. Maybe a nice idea unless you want
sterio :-)
Hmmm, if NASA hears of this, I wonder if they'll start playing
the National Anthem during shuttle launches ? :-)
